“Perhaps you are old enough to remember the Saturday Evening Post magazine.

If you were like me, you were always eager to see what artist Norman Rockwell painted for the magazine's cover. Each cover painting was pure Americana and would send a timely message, often a patriotic one, or provide the framework for a story familiar to all Americans of that era.

As I looked through these paintings, it reminded me of so many very happy moments in my childhood during the 30s and 40s. This is what really good art can do, isn't it? I hope it does the same for you.”
